I maintain that among the media's biggest mistakes has been continuing to ask Trump questions as if he's a normal guy instead of asking things like "Can you explain who Jesus is" or "Describe the process of pumping gas"

the funny thing about sending jd vance out to do sensitive diplomatic negotiations is he has literally no experience. like, none whatsoever. he doesn't even have related experience in lawmaking or some executive role.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

Well, my #Java journey has come to an end. Today my role at Oracle has been terminated.

I’m open to any job leads y’all may have.

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

What this shows is that a staggering 63%(!) of people arrested by ICE in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge (from December through February) had no criminal record at all.

Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions.

If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.

Having some cognitive dissonance b/w absurdity of much of General GenAI cheerleading (overselling) vs actually absurdly great functional value of agentic coding (Claude in particular) for specific kind of (not-vibe) use cases.

Both true, just seems... so disconnected.

Wow they won’t even have to spend money to rename things like we did with the Department of War

Donald Trump just became the first US Commander in Chief since 1991 to have three American fighter jets shot down by another country… and somehow, it wasn’t even an enemy.

Trying out OpenAI's Codex -- seems legit, no big surprises/disappointments, wrt structured Java library bug fix / test repro use cases so far. Solid backup when running into Claude token limits? :-D
